http pickup tool

[sherczog]

Can anyone help me with a method of picking up a pdf from a variable url? ( like http:// ipadres/ordernr.pdf). With every new order, the url is changed

Hi Dwight,

would U use a command line tool or just JS? Or is it a service you offer? Please let others also know how you could help.



Thank you,

Peter

I'd use a Switch Javascript to retrieve the remote document via wget command.

function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job )

{

// get filename to retreive

var String theURI = s.getPropertyValue("URI", job);

if (theURI.length == 0) {

job.fail("HTTPget: No URI specified!");

}

// create output file path

var slashPos = theURI.lastIndexOf( "/" );

var String outName = job.createPathWithName( theURI.substring( slashPos+1, theURI.length) );



var String args = new Array();

args[0] = "/opt/local/bin/wget";

args[1] = theURI;

args[2] = "-o";

args[3] = outName;

var myProc = new Process(args);

myProc.start();

myProc.waitForFinished(60);

if (myProc.exitStatus == 0) {

// success

job.sendToSingle(outName);

return;

}

job.fail("HTTPget failed!");

}

Just saw that PowerSwitch 09 has a comand to fetch files via http or ftp. So the script can be truncated and not relying on wget.





…

var String outName = job.createPathWithName( theURI.substring( slashPos+1, theURI.length) );





if ( s.download(theURI,outName) == true) {

// success

job.sendToSingle(outName);

return;

}

job.fail("HTTPget failed!");
